THE LOVEBUG PROJECT – A BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The idea of this project is to help my friends who are having difficulties with their debilitating chronic illnesses. My focus is primarily on Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome but also includes Gastroparesis, Dysautonomia, and their associated conditions.

ART includes…

🍓 Pre-Made Art – Of course I will ALWAYS be creating art in my downtime and most of it will be included in the LoveBug Project. To browse my current art for sale, please visit my Etsy Store (products include, but are not limited to, Watercolour paintings, lineart for sale and/or use as colouring pages, handmade plushies and jewelry).

Examples of past pre-made art

🍓Paintings/Drawings (Pre-made or by request – I offer traditional media such as Watercolour (my favourite 🎨), Ink, Pencil, and Acrylic. I ALSO offer digital painting (made with Programmes such as Procreate and Corel Painter X).

🍓 Photography (Most of my photography will be my own subjects (my favourite being animals and nature), but ARE for sale as prints on high-quality photo paper… in whatever size you like!) If you live in the Boston area, I would be more than willing to work out a shoot with you! And finally, if you have taken your own photograph and would like to send it to me for editing, I would be more than happy to do so (I do indeed know how to use Photoshop but my preferred programme is Corel Painter).

ABOUT THE DONATIONS, FOUNDATIONS, AND PATIENTS

I want to donate 50% of all the profits from this project to either Staci and Tara Gruber’s SMA Syndrome Foundation or my extremely ill friend, Olesya. (❗️NOTE – You will NOT be charged any extra fee for donating. That comes out of my profits only! ❗️)

For more information about Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome and Olesya’s Health Struggle, I will provide a few links for you to peruse if you please :3

HOW TO PAY –

My Etsy Page is where I will sell my ‘pre-made’ creations (Creations which are part of my LoveBug Project will be labeled specifically). HOWEVER, if you do want to make a special request there are a few options for payment…

1 – When completed, I will post your custom piece in my Etsy shop where you can easily purchase it through Etsy itself (I will still get the money and calculate the donation).

2 – I can send you your piece directly (whether by post, electronically, or both) and you can either mail a check or (preferably) use PayPal.
